  7. i work at a trucks acc shop and my co work installs them. its not something i would try to do your self. hes been doing it for years now and every once in awhile he has a hard time installing it. but its well worth it. i know its pretty spendy. they quoted me 40 dollars at my cost for a 4x1 sheet of it. but its very thick and it keeps the paint looking good. alot of people use it on the fenders of there bikes to keep there custom paint from getting rock chipped. they also have a spray on clear bra out now.

  16. wow well said. i feel where you are coming from. It really makes me mad. i work at least 65+ hours a week and some of these people set on there butts and get money. while we others work our tails off. rant ended.
  17. I forgot to tell you if you just lay down the arrival blue over primer it wont match just right. it took my along time to figure this out. but you need to lay silver first and then the blue and the match will be very very close.
  18. I get mine from car quest paint and refinishing center. I have heard you can get it at napa and i know you can get it from O'reillys paint center. it needs to be paint center. i live in montana so if i cant get it im sure you can. they just put it in a spray paint can for 20$.
  19. Most people call mine the Bastard SS. cause of my old plates. my plates were supposed to be boosted SS but i couldnt get enough letter so i put BSTD SS. bastared ss or busted ss.
  20. The paint is just a color matched paint arrival blue. I know some people say use high temp. but ive painted afew with color match and never had a problem. From start to finish i have about 7 hours in to them. but i did it right and cleaned them all and i put like 8 coats all together( primer, base coat silver, color match bluse and clear coat. sorry if anything is spelt wrong ive had alittle to mudch to drink.
  21. Yeah me to. The sad thing is that i had to request friday off from both job just to have the time to paint them. I dont get to work on the truck much. I put in about 75hrs a week between both jobs. Suck but i have mod money now
  22. So i didnt have much going on today and i wanted to work on the SS so i painted the brakes. It took way to long but it turned out fair. Its the little detail. that really makes me like working on the truck. i plan on doing a big brake kit with in a year and im plaing on painting those calipers this way also. heres some picture let me know if its to much. i dont want to over do it.
